ok, ive got a problem with that too tolerance is not enough equality is important some say they are tolerant, when in fact they do not respect the differences |
||||||||
|

|
|
but you can only tolerrate something you don't beleive in. |
||||||||

but infact it is equality, they teach that otherr rreligions arre peoples choice and that they arre still equal, so... |

Buddhism is not actually a rreligion in the strrictess sence. The Buddah was man not a god. His teachings arre based on then worrld he lived in. |

The bible does say some interesting things. Only 10% of the bible is worth reading though. Basically what it boils down to in the end: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Simplify this statement even more: Karma. |

hasidic judaism teaches tolerance for other religions too, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. i can't speak for all hasids, i'm sure some are a little more open-minded, but beneath their tolerance, they pray for your poor soul. a bit consescending. |

Religion is a tricky subject to talk about and be non biased... But I will try my best here (being a person of no faith) Relegion is a great thing in many ways, its social, you meet new people, you see a different view of the world. For a person trying to find his or her own truth I think it is nessesary to look at religion and see if it suits you. IMO I think relegion is great for people looking for hope in humanity. I would like to think of myself as a humanist, trying to live day to day and be a gunuine good person. Treating other people how I would like to be treated and helping out people whenever I can I believe that life is about finding your own truth/s, and if relegion is going to help you on that path, then use it But dont go into a religion because you are being pressured into it, or because of its image, do it because YOU want to, choose the one YOU want it. Christianity, Catholics, Muslim.... and the millions of others.. even if people say there is coruption and hypocricy (which IMO there is), dont let it get in your way, because relegion is a personal thing, and it doesnt always have to be about the church If I were ever to choose a relegion I think I would either become Buddhist or Catholic... but I will never be a religious person, so I dont have to worry about it |

premade religions are not the way. they dont bring structure, they just put you in a certain position. |

religion is great for people who are passionate about it... the people who aren't, those who are in it to fit into a certain group, or whatever, are the ones who give it a bad name... I've know some super AWESOME Christians in my time, and also some idiot, hypocritical Christians... but just because some Christians are hypocritical, I wouldn't label the whole religion as crap... Hey man, only you can determine whether or not it's right for you... please don't listen to all the people telling you Christianity is a joke, because it's not... but whether or not it's for you, is for you to find out... One thing is for sure, it does bring a sense of peace, and a sense of purpose... I know that from experience... |

i am not going to become rreligious for a few rreasons, the first - the bible was wrrote so long ago in the days when science could not prrove it wrrong. how do you account forr dinosaurrs. (basically knocks any crredibility the bible had out of the waterr) Buddhist's can't drrink alcohol, and sadly, thats my only escape, so that would never worrk. it still leave's with a prroblem. i need to change something in my life, because its a mess, and if rreligion won't do it, what will?? |

Everyone always feels the need to change something about their lives. Its all part of that endless search for your truth. For me truth is trying to figuere out questions like: who am I? what is love? what is hate? why do humans hate? why am I here (what is my purpose)? what happends after your body dies? .... that is what I think everybody is trying to answer in some way or another with religion or just by themselves. I know one thing though, energy its self can not vanish into thin air (it changes and transforms its self into another form of energy).... so we have to go somewhere... or something has to happen after we die. I find it hard to believe that after its all said and done we just dissapear... and vanish Or at least I would like to think of it this way |

Anus, listen up! CAREFULLY LISTEN:: You dont have to PICK a religion, make up your own. If you want to be a Buddist who drinks once in a while, I say do it. Dont regret it, have fun while you're here on earth because its a short trip. |
